SW: Qaddafi dead
"Thirty years ago, Muammar Gaddafi led a military coup that toppled King Idris and ended the monarchy in [[Libya]]. But since then," according to the ''BBC/UK'', "he has ruled his country in the style of the most eccentric of absolute monarchs imaginable."
On October 20, 2011 Qaddafi was killed by rebel fighters in his hometown of Surt. <ref> [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/21/world/africa/libyan-fighters-say-qaddafi-stronghold-has-fallen.html?_r=1&hp Qaddafi Is Dead, Libyan Officials Say] New York Times, October 20, 2011 </ref>
